Things Get Trippy in Troye Sivan ‘Happy Little Pill Music Video

If you’ve been listening to Troye Sivan’s ‘Happy Little Pill’ all summer, then you’ll be happy to know that his single FINALLY has a music video to accompany it!

Releasing it on his Tumblr page, the 19-year-old wrote this message to fans:

“Hiiiiiii guys!!

i’m soooo excited to be able to share with you the Happy Little Pill music videooooo! hope you punks like it and share it with your mates and make gifs of the radical owl. Making this video perfectly represent the song and it’s message was super important to me, and i hope you guys connect with it as much as i do. Also there is a hot boy in it playing soccer. enjoy!! (sic)”

The video itself is pretty trippy, featuring shots of Sivan standing alone against blue and purple backgrounds while his image distorts. There are also appearances by an owl and a couple making out in a pool. (Very hot!)

Slow-burning and ethereal, the 19-year-old said his electro-pop track was based on a time when he was dealing with personal struggles.

“I wrote this song during a bit of a rough time for someone super close to me, and for myself, and it still means as much to me as the day i wrote it, and i’m still as in love with it as the day i wrote it (which is rare for me!!)” he previously wrote on his Tumblr.

‘Happy Little Pill’ is the debut single for his upcoming album, TRXYE, out August 15.
